As far as I know, the arctic fox is a type of fox that lives only in the north pole and has white fur. Although this fox has very impressive fur, it should not be forgotten that it is a very dangerous animal. Today, I would like to introduce you to a crocheted toy inspired by the arctic fox. We see that the crocheted fox has a furry design with a red scarf.
Snowflake Arctic Fox Amigurumi Pattern
I was a little surprised by the short tail of the fox toy, but the fox has a very thick tail. How the ears and cheeks of the crocheted toy are painted is clearly explained in the pattern.

R19: (2sc, dec) x8 (24)
Start stuffing.
R20: (1sc, dec) x8 (16)
R21: dec x8 (8)
F.O., finish stuffing and hide the yarn tail.
Ears – crochet two:
R1: Create a magic ring and work 2sc into the ring. (2)
R2: inc x2 (4)
R3: (1sc, inc) x2 (6)
R4: (2sc, inc) x2 (8)
R5: sc around (8)
No need for stuffing.
F.O. and leave a tail for sewing.
Sew the ears between R2 to R4.
Scarf:
Chain 4- start from the 2nd chain from the hook and sc 3 down along the chain (3)
Turn your work and sc 3 on the other side of the chain (3)
Repeat this process until you have the desired lenght for your scarf.
I repeated this process until had 51 rows, but depending on your yarn and hook size it could be different.
After you reached your final length, F.O. and cut the yarn tail.
I just wrapped the scarf around my fox, but you can secure it by sewing it together.
Tail:
R1: Create a magic ring and work 4sc into the ring. (4)
R2: (1sc, inc) x2 (6)
R4: (2sc, inc) x2 (8)
R5-16 sc around *11rows* (8)
Lightly stuff.
(I use the end of my crochet hook to push the stuffing inside.)
Fold in half and close the tail with 3sc.
F.O. and leave a tail for sewing. Sew the tail at the back of R15 to R17 and wrap it to the front of the body. Secure it with the yarn tail.
Nose and Blush:
Either cut a little felt nose and glue or embroider it right between the eyes.
I gave my Fox a little blush near the eyes and in the ears. Let your creativity take over. I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with!
You’re finished!
